Description

XML file

The XML file is named the same as the PHP file, and is one of the two required files. Always start off with the XML tag and define that it is written in a UTF-8 format.

<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>

To define that the plugin has to be a search plugin, add this line:

<installversion="1.5"type="plugin"group="search">

The type will define it is a Plugin, the group defines the Plugin is in the group of Search Plugins.

After that, add some information about yourself and the Plugin, like this:

<name>Name of your Search Plugin</name><author>Your name</author><creationDate>Created Date</creationDate><copyright>Copyright</copyright><license>License, for example GNU/GPL</license><authorEmail>Your e-mail address</authorEmail><authorUrl>Your website</authorUrl><version>Version of the plugin</version><description>Description of the Plugin; showed with installation and when editing the Plugin in the Plugin Manager</description>

And now include your PHP file to the Search Plugin. The name of this file should be the same as the name of this XML file. Put this name also behind the plugin="" part.

You could also add more files for your plugin, for example an image. Just add another row between <files> and </file>, and then place the file between <filename> tags.
